wanted to talk about, jobs and the deficit. my understanding is that you just looked at this today and found obama scored 20 on the deficit and romney scored 41. when the team to jobs, 24357. run the way out ahead. >> obama keeps saying, romney's test plan will go below this $5 trillion : the budget. the other line, i have this $4 trillion plan. there is no plan. i have to blame people in the media. they are correctly pressing romney to be more specific about his plans, but i don't think that the press has been even handed in asking barack obama about his plan. you keep saying have a $4 trillion plant. i have not seen it. >> here is another issue along those lines. the president has gone so negative year. calling romney a liar which is something you don't typically do. >> i live in virginia, so we are just saturated. everytime you turn of the tv. football game, fox news. one after another, and these guys almost all of the obama ads are-. and that -- and not so sure that works so well for an incumbent is to go after the opponent like that. gerri: how much good can run the do? can he rea

the next five years. it is right to be concerned about america's trade deficit. but it is much healthier for america's economy, much better for the real purchasing power of american consumers, much better for having businesses engage in the business of the future rather than the business of the past, for us to move more balanced trade by increasing exports rather than reducing imports. some of that has to do with the negotiation and enforcement of trade agreements. more of it has to do with choices that we make. especially choices that we make in sectors that one doesn't always think of. there is fast scope, increased tourism in to the united states. if you think about it, tourism is a sector that provides vast opportunities and jobs with those with relatively little skill. not so long ago i had the opportunity to spend some time talking to the ceo of a major hotel chain who noted that of his senior management team, have had not gone to college and many had started working behind the desk in a hotel. our tourism industry which we don't think of as an industry that develops when

that matter the most the jobs market debt and deficit in his easy to of this gate and we saw lot of that last night with the vice-presidential debate. i want to set the record straight. vice president biden use the word fact 26 times the hard pressed to deliverny. over tax policy biden: the only way to find $5 trillion of loopholes is to cut the mortgage deduction, health care deduction take away the ability to get a tax break to send kids to college. ryan: he is wrong about that. you can preserve the purposes for middle class taxpayers. biden: has never been done before it. ryan: it has been done a couple of times. jack kennedy, ronald reagan. biden: now your jack kennedy? gerri: that was a cheap shot. bided was wrong when he claimed lower tax rates never had higher revenues. 1920's were slashed from 70% down a 20%. there rose 60%. kennedy cut across the board with the top rate down at 70%. tax revenues jump. ronald reaganproposed sweeping tax ratereduction and the result revenues up 99%. biden: we made sure we cut taxes for the middle-class. gerri: not even close to trooper releas

hand the federal budget deficit remains above 1al dollars. the treasury department says the deficit did fall by $207 billion. analyst says the government borrowed about 31 cents of every dollar it spent. >>> and giant fever. the giants dug out shop at at&t park and san francisco was a very big -- dizzy play -- busy place. >> i was told not to buy anymore t-shirts before the world series but i snuck over to the store. i think he'll forgive me when he sees what they are. >> restaurants near the stadium say they're gearing up for a wave of post season baseball fans and hoping to cash in just like to did two years egg. >>> right now the giants still learning where they play their game. if the national wins game one is in washington. the cardinals win, it's at at&tar park. either way you'll be able to watch that game on ktvu channel 2 right after the niner game. >>> shock. >>> students mourn the death of a popular teacher. the strange take into consideration have some people wonder what happened. >>> our high school football game of the week is just about to kick off near the free month

finally getting tough on big bird. who knew that he was driving our deficit. we are going after that. we are going after big bird, elmo is making a run for the border, oscar is hiding out in a trash can and governor romney wants wall street to run wild again but he is going to bring down the hammer on sesame street. >> the r&b has enlisted another character the count to defend against the president's claims. the image has been making the rounds on-line that says at recent campaign events president obama mentioned big bird 8 times elmo five times while failing to mention libya or a plan to fix the economy. h in honor of the count i will say there's only 27 days left until the election. >> who would have thought elmo and big bird would make such a big smash on the campaign trail. >> we are taking another look at who is talking. last night the use of big bird in the president's campaign ad sparked a heated debate with sean hannity and juan williams. >> this was a dodge. big bird is introduced in the conversation by governor romney. >> that's the point. -- (talking over one another) >> he di

income brackets rather than into reducing the deficit. the reality is any path forward on tax reform that promises to cut rates will either end up failing to reduce the deficit, or failing to protect the middle class from a net tax increase. >> eliot: senator schumer suggested allowing the rates to return to the prebush rate. of course republicans were quick to pounce on shumers new approach be old attacks. mitch mcconnell said, and i quote . . . for more on the mayhem in washington, i'm joined by one of your favorites bernie sanders,ent senator of vermont. thank you so much for joining us tonight. >> my pleasure. >> eliot: is chuck schumer right that we could challenge the premise that rates at the top should come down. >> of course schumer is right. what the republicans want to do and some democrats is lower the tax rates for the wealthiest people in this country at a time right now, when the effect of what the wealthiest people actually pay is the lowest in decades. and even if you manage to close some loopholes you will become neutral -- you are not going to bring in any m

huge deficit was turned into a $300 million surplus under bremer's leadership. he was also the first african- american to sit on the federal reserve board. andrew bremer was 86 years old. >>> a strange twist in the case of a missing girl in colorado. a body was found yesterday seven miles from where jessica ridgeway disappeared last friday on her way to school. now, many assume the body was jessica's, but at a news conference just a few moments ago, authorities said the search for the girl continues. officials acknowledge the discovery of the body but did not provide any information about that body. authorities believe that jessica was abducted. >>> just two days after jerry sandusky was sentenced for molesting 10 young boys, there is word this morning that his $59,000 annual pension has been revoked. the news comes as we learn more about the letters that the former penn state assistant football coach and his wife sent to the judge before his sentencing. in them they both portrayed themselves as victims of a conspiracy and wrote that the justice system let them down. >>> the new unem

deficits, more wars than president obama was by the failed policies of george w. bush which resulted in directly the greatest job losses since fdr. h is hot easy. in is hard -- this is not easy. this is hard work. >> we didn't hear in an hour and 20 minutes of debate anything about the stimulus package because if you look at the policy the trickle down government policy as the governor described it, they represented we would be below 6% unemployment now after spending all that money. the policies that this president put into place is actually made it worse including the fact that obama care is causing small employers not to hire because of rising healthcare costs. gas prices have doubled. the middle class is being buried under this administration. the vice president said it aptly and it is true. >> chris: let's turn to a couple of issues that came up during the debate. obviously the jobs report came out after the debeat. both sides saying that the other candidate is lying about h his position and let's start with taxes. governor, the president keeps saying that mitt romney i

president four years. you said you would cut the deficit in half. we still have trillion dollar deficits. >> five weeks before the election, he says his big bold idea is, never mind. >> if there is any good news for the president after the debate is that the unemployment rate dropped below 8% from 8.1%, to 7.8%, the lowest since he took office. jonathan martin was on the ground for the debate in denver. you say romney took the debate stage with the top republican verging on panic. did this turnaround for them? >> they are backing away from the edge. there is no question that this was a make or break moment for governor romney. if he had not shown up like he did in denver, you would have seen a really ugly scene here. a lot of folks in his party would have backed away from him. this puts him back in the game, it restores confidence among other people running for the house and senate this year who are now happy to be seen with him. it gives them a real boost when they desperately need it. he still has problems and a lot of swing states. this puts them back in the game, it turns around the

either raising the deficit or burdening the middle class. it's math, it's arithmetic. >> get the rates down, lower deductions and exemptions to create more jobs because there's nothing better for getting us to a balanced budget to have more people working, earning more money and paying taxes and that's by far the most effective and efficient way to get this budget balanced. >> paul: welcome to the journal editorial report. i'm paul gigot. a big night in denver on wednesday, as president barack obama, and mitt romney met for the first presidential debate and the candidates sparred as you heard over taxes and the deficit as well as health care. wall street reform and the role of government. with mitt romney taking some sharp shots at the president's record these past four years. >> we're seeing right now is, in my view, a trickle down government approach which has government thinking it can do a better job than free people pursuing their dreams and that's not working the. proof of that is 23 million people out of work and the proof one out of six people in poverty, the proof 32 million o

this year's budget come at you are going to have a trillion dollar deficit. i have not done anything yet, he said. >> we cannot keep looking our children in the high knowing that we are going to give them a diminished future because we are spending their money today. it is a very simple idea. mitt romney and i are going to bring it to washington. we've got to stop spending money we do not have. we must cut spending, we must get this balanced budget. >> next thursday night, paul brian and joe biden will face off in their only critic paul brian and joe biden will face off in their only debate. you can watch and engage with c- span with our live debate preview starting at 7:00. your reactions at 10:30. a follow our live coverage on c- span, c-span radio, and online. >> i watched on c-span the various congressional hearings and deliberation on public policy and also information that is put out by the various think tanks in washington. i like to watch the main interviews on sundays at 8:00. he hosts different authors any has discussions -- and he has discussions. in is the way --

deficits, those costs continue to go up. jane bode miller has more on what she has uncovered. -- jayne miller has more on what she has uncovered. >> former mayor stephanie rawlings lake has quite the entourage as she travels around. she is protected wherever she goes by city police officers whose sole duty is to provide the mayor with executive protection. it all comes with the cost. for the last fiscal year, over time alone was $103,765. that was substantially higher than the overtime cost for fiscal year 2011, which came in at $69,823. one big reason, the unit got bigger. it grew from six officers the previous year to seven officers now. they also travel with her out of town. that added another $7,700 in the last fiscal year. take that plus overtime cost plus minimal series of the officers, and it is enough to cover the starting salaries of 10 police officers. executive protection is provided to the police commissioner, even though the commissioner carries a gun. two officers assigned to protect outgoing commissioner fred bealefeld made thousands and overtime last year. $38,987 last

cavuto. we just found out today that we have another trillion dollar deficit the fourth year running. it could've been worse. we also found out that the federal government bailout program in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis was $24 billion. alas, that is down from $32 billion. by my count on both counts, we are still down for the count. crazy me. i want a lot of answers to all of these loony financial questions. how will we avoid this looming train looming train wreck? what we do to ease ourselves back from this financial cliff? not a word on any of this from the vice president or the guy that wants to be vice president. no mention of the great unmentionable and what could single-handedly trigger another recession. that is why tomorrow we want answers. allow me to break from all things convention and all things hot air and focus on something that is pathetic. washington's ongoing difference to a calamity. it could cost millions of jobs and high taxes on millions of poor families. the issue isn't whether or not i think this is a big deal, my friends. it is why this late in the game n

[ screaming ] >> what i want to do is make it simpler, fairer. i want to encourage the economy to grow again. >> so you're repealing obama-care but keeping the good parts of healthcare, social security and medicare for seniors and you're going to build more submarines and destroyers than the pentagon wants, i want to ask you a question. are you a wizard. >> i'm not going to layout a piece of legislation here. >> we can't wait to walk you through all the details math point by math point. there are some tricky--sasquatch tricky--sasquatch. sasquatch, you come here! you come here, no, no, yeti. >> hi there, it's a trolley. it's on the way to the neighborhood of make believe. that's where me and paul ryan get most of our facts from. >> the combination of limiting deduct

fiscal year, the u.s. deficit totals $1.4 trillion. it exceeded the $4 trillion mark. >>> jack kennedy and paul ryan, perfect together? some things about them that are similar. both young, energetic, vibrant. paul ryan things they have something in common, joe biden not so sure. the republican candidate invoked a camelot era comparison. this time, the issue taxes. >> you can cut tax rates by 20% and preserve important preferences for middle class taxpayers. >> not mathematically possible. >> it's been done before. >> it's never been done before. >> a couple of times. >> never been done before. >> ronald reagan. >> now you're jack kennedy. >> ronald reagan. >> twitter was atwitter about that. that comment got a noticeable reaction from the group of undecided voters i watched during the debate last night. see it blown up there in the bottom of the screen. here is the problem, both kennedy and reagan working in a different time and place. to start, when both kennedy and reagan took office, individual tax rates not even in the ballpark of what we have now. kennedy's plan, enacted after his

quiet. we'll never be out of the game. we have come down from four runs, five run deficit and two- run deficit isn't enough to hold us right now. >> wins are always good. it means you get to play another day. >> reporter: all right. so dennis, if the as win they will make the legal championship series and they announce that the tarps along the first and third base side are going to come off the ones at mount davis will remain and dennis, get out your parachute pants because mc hammer is throwing out the first pitch tonight for game five. >> i'm really torn, vern. have a great time. see you out there in about a half hour. fans will have to make a choice. you watch the as game or a big debate? >> two tvs! >> picture in picture. >> thank you. >>> all right. in fact, speaking of that, let's go live to danville kentucky where the vice- presidential candidates will share the stage. less than an hour from now, this is going to be their one and only debate. cbs 5 political reporter grace lee tells us what we can expect tonight. grace. >> reporter: allen, vice president joe biden will get

able to provide detail what he would do to cut the deficit and no detail about the issue of syria and what the romney-ryan people would do any different than the president and any detail on the issue of afghanistan, what they would do differently on that issue. on question after question, i completely disagree with my friend, larry, i don't think he handled himself well at all on foreign policy issues, i think he was a total disaster. he did not look like he was ready to be commander in chief. i think the american people saw that. >> just one quick. >> i don't think -- >> one quick challenge. just one quick challenge to my good friend, keith boykin, i admire enormously. >> here it comes. whenever somebody says that -- >> actually, jared said earlier the first part of that debate was steaming and i agree. steaming was really on foreign policy and really on benghazi. i thought ryan drew a lot of blood. i think he put biden immediately on the defensive and the administration has a huge problem here a credibility problem, it could be a cover-up or falsehood problem. i think you saw that.

the main reasons record surpluses under bill clinton were turned into record deficits under george bush is because we put two wars and two tax cuts on a credit card. and now governor romney wants another $5 trillion in tax cuts that he can't pay for? not if i have anything to say about it. that's not going to happen. [applause] we are not going to let this country fall backward. not now. not with so much at stake. we've got to move forward. we need to invest in small business and manufacturers who create jobs here in the united states. we need to recruit 100,000 math and science teachers, train two million workers at community college, bring down the cost of college tuition. we need to -- [cheers and applause] we need to cut our oil imports in half. create thousands more jobs in clean energy. we need to use the savings from ending the wars in iraq and afghanistan to help pay down our deficit and put people back to work doing some nation building right here at home. that's the agenda we need. that's how you strengthen the middle class. that's how you keep moving forward. that's the

taxes and balance it out so it doesn't increase the deficit. >> he controlled the congress. he had every card in the deck for two years, didn't do anything. he's got no plans. >> well, of course,. but you need 60 votes, and you know that, bob. they filibustered everything. you can't get 60 votes, you know, to agree on what day of the week it is. >> he couldn't pass his own budget. >> i can't allow you to filibuster. we have to move on. i appreciate it, though,. >>> meantime the internet was all abuzz during this debate. joining me simon landau, our social media director, and who's trending right now? >> sure. the internet certainly was buzzing tonight, maybe not so much as last week during the presidential debate when we saw so much tweeting action about big bird and jim lehrer; but we still do have some action. what we're looking at right now is the national trends map, and we see that interrupting afghans, voters, weapons, referring to those topics, those major buzz topics from the debate are going on, and it's not quite as active as last week, which can be expected, but there's
